Well, after all, G00D does work in mysterious ways.
I wonder what G00D was teaching when Hillary and Bush/Cheney got together and slaughtered all those Middle Easterners.

Trump is all over the place with his proposals
first he said the taxes will go up for the rich, then down, then up again
then it was super low, at 25% for the top marginal rate, which is 39% now
then he hired Reagan's financial gurus, Morris and Kudrow, and they said it should be 28%
He will change on a dime, because he doesn't know sh#t, anyone can tell him anything and he will believe it
So it's going like Reagan, all hat and no cowboy, and his Neo-Con advisors will make all the decisions and run rough shod over the Country like W. Bush,
he will just be the evil figure head at the top
of course they won't care when the tax plan add trillions to the debt, like Reagan said, deficits don't matter (because we will blame it on the Dems and they can clean up the carcass after we fed on it)
Compassion? what a joke.

Who is responsible for all the Syrians who have died in the last 5 years? Is Bill Clinton responsible for the Rwandan genocide? America loves to demand their politicians do things and then blame them for doing them.

Talk about Hypocrisy
They bashed Obama over the head about not having a strategy for ISIS
They demanded to know what the plan was
Trump says he doesn't know what his plan is, but won't tell it anyway because it would be secret
and they praise him like he fixed the problem overnight
saying that they can't reveal the plan because then the enemy would know what the plan was, and thwart the effort.
Obama doesn't reveal plan = bad, ineffective, leading from behind
Trump doesn't reveal plan = Awesome leader
by the way, Obama did have a plan, and ISIS in Iraq has been devastated.

It ain't that complicated:
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/05/heres-the-real-reason-we-all-underrated-trump.html#
Why did almost everybody fail to predict Donald Trump’s victory in the Republican primaries? Nate Silver blames the news media, disorganized Republican elites, and the surprising appeal of cultural grievance. Nate Cohn lists a number of factors, from the unusually large candidate field to the friendly calendar. Jim Rutenberg thinks journalism strayed too far from good old-fashioned shoe-leather reporting. Justin Wolfers zeroes in on Condorcet’s paradox. Here’s the factor I think everybody missed: The Republican Party turns out to be filled with idiots. Far more of them than anybody expected.
Most voters don’t follow politics and policy for a living, and it’s understandable that they would often fall for arguments based on faulty numbers or a misreading of history. But a figure like Trump is of a completely different cast than the usual political slickster. He is several orders of magnitude more clownish and uninformed than the dumbest major-party nominee I’ve ever seen before. (That would be George W. Bush.) As low as my estimation of the intelligence of the Republican electorate may be, I did not think enough of them would be dumb enough to buy his act. And, yes, I do believe that to watch Donald Trump and see a qualified and plausible president, you probably have some kind of mental shortcoming.As many fellow Republicans have pointed out, Donald Trump is a con man. What I failed to realize — and, I believe, what so many others failed to realize, though they have reasons not to say so — is just how easily so many Republicans are duped.

The reason is that Trump is the Republican party. He hasn't said one thing, except on trade, that isn't solidly part of current Republican doctrine.

Let's not be exclusive here. This election has proved that there are no shortage of idiots voting in the Democratic primary. Many of them don't want to identify as Democrats, but they are happy to believe whatever their Facebook feed tells them to. They are good hearted and well meaning, but still not employing a lot of brain power.

and you have proof of this from where?
Fox News
you really need to be more careful HDDJ
you are making a lot untrue statements with zero evidence to back them
is it helping anyone's cause?
They have to be less of an idiot than a Trump voter by your own words.

It's not how they voted at all it's the propaganda they are happy to keep repeating without thinking. It's hard to believe this "what the mainstream media won't cover" garbage is still working.

Here's my fear, and it's big!!!
Now that Trump has taken the Presidential slot
The big money donors (Koch) will just give up on the Presidential election, and focus all their money on Congress, state and local elections
It could very well be a complete take over if we don't fight those races
I want to send a letter to the DNC, and tell then that they can come up with some ads that tell the voters that the Koch bros are the money behind the rampant smear ads that they will run
an ad that tries to focus on where the smear campaign money comes from, like "do you want to be a moronic dupe to big money interests and believe these smears".
